The shop was, as usual, totally fab and stuffed full of yummy yarn.
"Beaded Star" involved making a little bag, with an intarsia design on one side (the other side is striped) involving squares and with some beading too, to make a star shape on the inner square. So it was a great introduction to both intarsia and beading. I hadn't tried beading before, and had had only one slightly disastrous attempt at intarsia.
Lunch was, again, very tasty. Spinach flan with pine nuts on top, cous cous salad and tomatoes, followed by fruit kebabs.
And plenty of time to wander around the shop admiring the yarn and flipping through pattern books. I bought 4 balls of Rowan 4ply soft from the sale basket.And there was a pear cake with toffee sauce and cream during the afternoon!
I got about halfway through the intarsia and beaded panel during the workshop, but now feel much more confident about both techniques.
And the cake was very tasty too!
